• Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a square baking pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• In a large bowl, mix the sugar and vegetable oil until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, followed by the grated carrots and nuts, if using.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely.
• To prepare the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy.
• Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Garnish with chopped nuts, if desired.
• Slice into squares and serve.
